About The Hub Cafe

Based on the card descriptor and the "SQ *" prefix, this charge is from a small business called The Hub Cafe that uses Square as its payment processor. It is most likely a local coffee shop or café offering espresso drinks, brewed coffee, light meals, pastries, and other café-style food and beverages, serving customers in a community in Arkansas.

This charge would typically appear after you purchased drinks or food in person, or possibly ordered takeout from the café. The amount will usually match a receipt you received at the counter or via email/text from Square. If you left a tip on the Square terminal, the final posted amount may be slightly higher than the initial authorization that first appeared as “pending.”

If you’re unsure about the charge, first check recent café or restaurant visits in Arkansas around the transaction date and look for a paper receipt or a Square e‑receipt in your email or SMS. Because the payment is processed by Square, you may also search your email for “Square receipt” around that date. To resolve questions, you can call or visit The Hub Cafe directly during business hours and provide the date and amount of the transaction so they can look it up in their Square system. If you still don’t recognize the purchase after checking with the café, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge or request a card replacement in case of fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement say "SQ *THE HUB CAF" instead of just The Hub Cafe?

The prefix "SQ *" indicates that the merchant uses Square as its payment processor. The actual business charging you is The Hub Cafe, while Square’s name appears because they handle the card transaction on the café’s behalf.

What kind of purchases typically result in a charge from The Hub Cafe?

Charges from The Hub Cafe usually come from in‑person purchases such as coffee drinks, breakfast or lunch items, pastries, and other café menu items, often including an optional tip added at the register.

Why is the final amount from The Hub Cafe higher than what I first saw as pending?

When you pay at The Hub Cafe using Square, an initial authorization may appear on your account. If you added a tip after inserting or tapping your card, the final captured amount can be higher than the first pending amount once the transaction fully posts.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from The Hub Cafe?

If you opted for a digital receipt at checkout, Square typically emails or texts it to you. Try searching your email or SMS for terms like "Square receipt" or the transaction date. If you didn’t receive one, you can contact The Hub Cafe directly with the date and exact amount so they can re‑issue a receipt from their Square dashboard.

Can The Hub Cafe place small temporary or duplicate charges on my card?

Like many Square-processed merchants, The Hub Cafe might generate a temporary authorization or adjustment when the card is first run and again when the tip is added. Any extra pending authorizations should drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final sale amount.

Does The Hub Cafe run subscriptions or recurring payments?

The Hub Cafe is most likely a walk‑in café, so charges are typically one‑time purchases on the day you visit. If you see recurring charges labeled with The Hub Cafe and don’t knowingly participate in a tab, pre‑order, or membership program, contact the café and your card issuer to investigate.

How do I contact The Hub Cafe about a refund or billing issue?

Because this is a small, independent café, the best way is usually to call or visit during business hours and speak with a manager. Provide your payment card’s last four digits, the exact transaction date, and the amount so they can locate the sale in their Square system and process a refund or correction if appropriate.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a charge from The Hub Cafe at all?

First, review your recent visits to cafés or restaurants in Arkansas around the transaction date and check for any receipts. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact The Hub Cafe to see if they can identify who used the card. If it remains unfamiliar, report it to your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction and request a new card if necessary.
